أجرة

Ujra, lexically and in law, is the counterpart of a benefit: what a worker receives for his labour, and what the owner of a thing receives for its use. ¹ A rent may be anything that may serve as a price, whether goods, another benefit, or money, paid at once or deferred. A contract with an unknown rent, or with a rent that is part of the work done, such as hiring a man to skin a sheep for its hide, is not valid. ¹ Wine and pork may serve as rent only for non-Muslims. ¹ The details belong under the lease; taking a fee for acts of worship is treated under the call to prayer, pilgrimage and jihad. ¹
